Chapter 305: Sunset Turtle Mountain (1)
The Japanese army mobilized troops on the eastern and western fronts, and even if the Qin army had a hot air balloon, it would be impossible to completely monitor it. But he can't stop Liu Xian from having a virtual map, and the layout is vivid! Naturally, it is to look at the dishes and take one to the other.
Xixiang went from the road to the east, and Liu Xian let him go east. In the process of retreating, the blood of the Japanese army was constantly absorbed, so that the Japanese army fought one battle after another, and the casualties rushed to the casualties, and the way forward was sprinkled with blood, the spirit was exhausted, and the body was even more exhausted.
If Saigo Congdao could have been more sensible and decisively ordered the troops to be withdrawn before dawn, Liu Xian would immediately release the reserves, pounce on them, and eat the protruding piece of Japanese troops. And if Saigo is 'wishful thinking' to open up the eastern road, then wait until dawn and then sweep with thunder!
"Liu Hou really lives up to his reputation, and as soon as he lures the snake out of the hole, he obediently let the Japanese invaders come to die."
Watching the autumn wind sweeping the battlefield of the Japanese assault troops like falling leaves, Liu Dian said to Liu Xian from the bottom of his heart. From yesterday to this morning, all the command arrangements were led by Liu Xian. His reluctance at that time, and Wang Debang's disapproval at that time, are still vivid. It is only because of Liu Xian's identity and status that he pinched his nose. Fortunately, he pinched his nose and admitted it, otherwise how could there be such a big victory now?
"Get on the bayonet, kill it......"
After a certain distance has been fought in modern warfare, when the distance is close, the only way to break the stalemate is often the bayonet charge. Not only did the Japanese army have bayonets, but the Qin and Chu coalition forces also installed bayonets on their rifles, and the soldiers on both sides moved forward bravely under the leadership of middle and low-level officers.
After the last platoon of guns was released, Tanaka Nobusawa commanded the remaining seventy or eighty people. He held his bayonet and rushed to kill the allied soldiers who rushed towards him.
While the bayonets of the two armies collided with each other, Tanaka Nobusawa once again discovered that the pistols equipped by the Qing soldiers had appeared. A small group of Qing soldiers drew their pistols from their waists. In this way, at a very close distance, he began to shoot Japanese officers and soldiers with pistols. Melee combat is brutal, bayonets are fine. Whether it is a pistol or a pistol, it is fought at a very close distance. Even if it is a blink of an eye, a life is fully confessed, or at least half of it.
However, killing with a bayonet is definitely not as quick as a point shot from a pistol. In a matter of moments, half of the soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies who were fighting together fell. Among them, Japanese soldiers accounted for at least seventy percent.
Tanaka Nobusawa couldn't figure out one thing, where did the Qing army get so many pistols? Isn't this something that can only be assembled by officers? Why do these Qing soldiers also have them?
The soldiers of the Qin army spontaneously bought pistols to equip themselves, and it is estimated that Tanaka Nobusawa had never heard of it. It's so incredible in the East. It is very common in Western countries.
And the reason for the incident, this can only be said to be the sequelae of the Qin army's many bayonet drills. In the bayonet fight, too many Qin soldiers realized that the pistol was good. Moreover, the revolver produced by the Qin Army Arsenal itself may have a slightly worse performance than the American-made one, but the price is much cheaper. In addition, there will be a discount for your own purchase, and the military salary for three months is almost enough.
Therefore, the Qin Army Arsenal, whether it is the pistol produced by the old factory or the pistol produced after the new factory is put into operation. They are all sought-after goods within the Qin army. And the proportion of soldiers who personally purchased and owned pistols was always on the rise in the Qin army.
Tanaka saw that the number of Qing troops was increasing. He couldn't hold on any longer, and if he fought like this, he wouldn't retreat if he fought to the death. It won't be long before the army is wiped out. So he made a quick decision and retreated to the southwest with his troops. There was also a Japanese defense point there. You can all help to block the Qing soldiers behind you.
The sun had already illuminated the entire land, and the remnants of Tanaka's squadron were defeated all the way. It was not until the first Qing army position captured at night that it was stopped. Counting the troops, there were less than forty people left.
Even though there are only so many people left. Nobusawa Tanaka is already commendable. There were too many assault Japanese squadrons that were wiped out in the Qing counterattack. Being able to survive with some of his soldiers, Tanaka Nobusawa didn't have to worry about being severely reprimanded.
Saigo was cold and hard like a piece of marble. In the night assault, the Japanese army threw in two brigades, as well as more than five hundred colonial soldiers, with a total strength of nearly two thousand people. But what about the number of Japanese troops who were withdrawn? All of them add up to less than five hundred. Although a considerable number of wounded Japanese soldiers had been brought back before this time, the total number was still half of the total. Four squadrons were wiped out. Although Tanaka Nobuzawa's squadron was defeated, it still left some people behind.
When I got the news, it was already noon. The sun was hot overhead, but Tanaka Shinzawa felt a chill in his heart.
Nobusawa Tanaka did not go to the battlefield again for this day. Even though the 056 Heights on the Eastern Front were back in the hands of the coalition forces again, the 075 Heights were also planted with the Triceratops Banner, and Tanaka still stayed in the Kameyama Barracks.
The Japanese army, which suffered a great loss of strength, morale, and strength due to the sneak attack, was left with only 103 heights on the Eastern Front, and they also lost Guishantou on the Western Front. Now the heavy artillery of the Qing army can hit Turtle Mountain.
Saigo knew that this war was coming to an end. But he was still trying, and he sternly demanded that the soldiers not talk to each other and convey words and messages that confused the morale of the army. As long as there were soldiers who exchanged heads, the low-ranking officers of the Japanese army would immediately stop and give a certain punishment. And as for yesterday's battle, it is even more not allowed to be discussed.
The high-pressure posture played a role, and after a whole day of fierce fighting yesterday, the Japanese soldiers lost their energy, and the Japanese soldiers still carried out the arrangements above in an orderly manner. Until a figure with a white flag appeared in the distance.
There are two meanings to playing white, either to surrender or to ask for negotiations. With the current situation, of course, the Qing army will not surrender, but may only come over to negotiate.
Saigo still has the least sense of reason, and it is dishonorable to kill the other party's negotiators on the battlefield no matter what, and it will have fatal consequences when the general trend has gone. Therefore, the negotiators of the Qing army were still safe.
The content of the negotiation was very simple, and the Japanese army was told that the coalition forces had captured some Japanese personnel in yesterday's battle, and that they were unable to treat these people due to their limited medical capabilities. Therefore, I hope that the Japanese army can send people to take these Japanese wounded back to the Japanese army themselves for treatment.
Saigo was very suspicious of this move, and when they were in the end of the war at home, they did not have the habit of treating their captives well. For the wounded, it is very merciful not to kill them on the spot. It was completely unexpected that the Qing army would demand that the wounded Japanese be handed over at this time. However, at this time, the Japanese army was far from releasing its bestiality, and the two sides still discussed the process of returning the wounded.
In the evening, the two sides did not start a war for the time being, and the non-armed forces of the Qing army sent the Japanese wounded to a designated open area, and then the Japanese side went over to receive the wounded. After that, both armies retreated at the same time.
The whole handover process was very smooth. Except for the moaning of the Japanese wounded, which brought a lot of psychological impact to the Japanese recipients, the process was far more peaceful than imagined. The Japanese wounded were also treated with minimal bandaging, which greatly reduced the hostility of many Japanese soldiers. Both sides are non-armed forces, and after the handover, each quickly withdrew.
The Japanese army headquarters did not have anyone here to show the lower limit of the construction yƬ shelling of the Qing army's non-armed forces, but Saigo Congdao and Gu Gancheng refused without hesitation, and severely reprimanded. "It's stupid, and it's a shame for the samurai!" What is lost on the battlefield is regained on the battlefield. Saigo Congdao is still full of necessary military ethics.
But what happened next made him and Gu Gancheng feel a little regretful. The two of them never expected that when the two or three hundred wounded were brought back, those wounded who were wrapped in bloody bandages were either limping and walking with difficulty, or simply lying on stretchers and being carried back, which had a huge impact on the morale of the Japanese army, which was not high.
A Chu army position. As night fell, Liu Dian and Wang Debang looked at Guishan, and the atmosphere was a little cold. Wang Debang's team of 5,000 people is not inferior to the Qin army, how can there be such a big difference between the two sides in the battle?
This has to go on and on. The brilliance of the Battle of Turtle Mountain was all taken by the Qin army!
"An attack at dawn. Let's Chu Jun fight by himself! Be sure to gnaw down the Japanese defense line and push the front to the foot of Kameyama. ā
"But is Liu Hou willing? Isn't that too explicit? ā
Wang Debang's face was very entangled. As a veteran, he said that he also wants to save face. Liu Dian's arrangement is purely a credit for Hongguoguo. Shame on you!
At this time, the old man will talk to Liu Houxiang. You're just ready to fight. ā
Liu Dian made up his mind. He really couldn't stand the Chu army of 5,000 people, and the scenery was covered by the Qin army of 3,000 people. Even if he owes Qin Jun a favor, Chu Jun has to pick up face. It was too embarrassing to be embarrassed the night before, and it wasn't like a couple of compliments that could be won back. Even if it is on the document to report success to Beijing, it will definitely be Qin and Chu equally. But you can't fool yourself about it.
The Chu army also needs to fight a tough battle and win a hard battle.
Because Liu Dian's eyes are not only looking at the battle in Taiwan, but also the battle in the Ryukyus and killing Japan. The capacity of Qinchu steamship is limited, who are you pulling, who are you not pulling? The two sides are fighting together, how can this ratio come out? How do you calculate it?
What Liu Xian promised at the beginning was only the battle of Taiwan, so who would have more and who would have less in the battle of Japan had not been decided.
Liu Dian's mind always placed the Chu army higher than the Qin army. Even though the Qin army can fight and has money, but due to the limitations of territory and the influence of inherent old concepts, Liu Dian always believes that the strength of the Chu army is superior to that of the Qin army. And isn't that what the Chinese are all about? The two of them also want to be the main and the secondary. Now that Qin Chu has joined forces, who will be the boss?
Therefore, Liu Dian was absolutely unwilling to bow his head in front of Qin Jun.
Turn back to coalition command. Liu Dian said what Liu Xian said very clearly. Liu Xian smiled and agreed. "Now that Kegong has said everything, Liu naturally wants to buy your face. All the artillery of the Qin army was dispatched by the Chu army, and I waited here for good news. (To be continued......) R1292
